"Open her up, Astro," he ordered, his voice crackling through the spacephones inside his space helmet. Astro pressed the lever opening the sliding panel in the side of the hull of the Polaris and the cold blackness of outer space came into view. Seated at the controls of the jet boat, Tom pressed down on the acceleration pedal, sending the tiny ship rocketing out of the Polaris like a projectile.
In the early days, before spacephones were long-range devices, a yacht or a ship that went beyond orbital distance was strictly on its own. If there were a breakdown, it was strictly private. It had to repair itself or else. So all early spacecraft carried amazingly complete equipment for repairs.
His voice had a harsh metallic tone through the headset spacephones. Roger hurried along with Astro to the number-one boat and climbed inside. "Jet boat has its own oxygen system," said Astro to Roger. "Better make use of it while we're in here and save our suits' supplies." "Good idea," said Roger.
One by one the boys flipped on the switch of the portable spacephones in their fish-bowl helmets and spoke to each other. Strong indicated that he was satisfied and turned toward the jet-boat catapult deck, the three boys following him in single file. "Astro, you and Roger take number-one boat," said Strong. "Tom and I will take number two."
